'''Front of National Unity''' or '''National Unity Front''' ({{langx|pl|Front Jedności Narodu}}, '''FJN''') was a [[popular front]] supervising elections in the [[Polish People's Republic]] which also acted as a coalition for the dominant communist [[Polish United Workers' Party]] (PZPR) and its allies.<ref name=wiem/> It was founded in 1952 as ''National Front'' (''Front Narodowy'') and renamed to ''Front of National Unity'' in 1956.<ref name=wiem/> It was the heir of the '''Democratic Bloc''' (''Blok Demokratyczny'') which ran in the [[1947 Polish legislative election|elections of 1947]] before the merger between communists and socialists.<br />
<br />
The Front was created by and was subordinate to the PZPR.<ref name=pwn/> Its membership included all three legal Polish political parties (the PZPR, [[Democratic Party (Poland)|Democratic Party]], and [[United People's Party (Poland)|United People's Party]]) and many organizations (such as trade unions).<ref name=pwn>{{in lang|pl}} [http://encyklopedia.pwn.pl/haslo.php?id=3902882 Front Jedności Narodu] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110607134536/http://encyklopedia.pwn.pl/haslo.php?id=3902882 |date=2011-06-07 }} in [[Internetowa encyklopedia PWN|Encyklopedia PWN]]</ref> During elections it had a near monopoly (varied depending on particular time) on registering candidates who had the right to participate in the elections.<ref name=wiem/><ref name=pwn/> As was the case with other popular fronts in the Soviet bloc, the member parties of the Front were largely subservient to the PZPR; they had to accept the PZPR's "leading role" as a condition of their existence.<br />
<br />
On 16 July 1983 at a meeting in Warsaw of the presidium of the National Committee of the Front of National Unity, the dissolution of that organization was announced and an appeal was made for FJN members to join [[Patriotic Movement for National Rebirth]] (''Patriotyczny Ruch Odrodzenia Narodowego, PRON'').<ref name=wiem/><br />
